Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs bleed $1.22 billion in a single week

US spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds lost more than $1.22 billion in net withdrawals during the trading week of October 5-9, 2026.

The reversal hit both of crypto's flagship ETF categories at once. Bitcoin funds recorded their weakest week since late June. Ethereum products posted their largest weekly withdrawal since January 2026.

Bitcoin ETFs saw net redemptions of roughly $679 million to $681 million over the week. That ended a three-week streak of inflows for the group.

The heaviest damage landed midweek. Bitcoin products saw their largest single-day exit then, with redemptions topping somewhere between $484 million and $487 million.

Ethereum ETFs had their own rough stretch. They shed around $542 million across five consecutive days of outflows.

That figure marks the biggest weekly withdrawal for Ether products since January 2026. The selling also pushed their losing streak to nine consecutive negative sessions.

Added together, the Bitcoin and Ethereum figures came to approximately $1.22 billion in combined net outflows for the week.

The largest issuer in the space was also at the center of the withdrawals. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and its Ethereum counterpart (ETHA) accounted for significant portions of the total outflows.
